INDIAN ACCOUNT. 

The aboriginal inhabitants of Maine comprised several 
races of red men, of which the Abenaques formed one of the 
most powerful nations. This nation was divided into four 
distinct tribes, viz: the Sokokis, or Sockhigones, who inhab- 
ited the valley of the Saco river; the Anasagunticooks, liv- 
ing in the valley of the Androscoggin; the Canabas, or Ken- 
abas, occupying the Kennebec valley; and the Wawenocks, 
east of the Sagadahock. The Anasaganticook tribe was 
one of the most numerous and powerful, their hunting 
grounds covering the entire valley of the Androscoggin with 
an eocampment and fort at Pejepscot (Brunswick) on the 
lower course; a place of rendezvous at Lewiston Falls where 
at an early date was also another fort; and on the broad in- 
tervales at Canton was a large encampment, or village, the 
home of the Rockomekas, a branch of Anasagunticooks. 

Owing to the secluded location of the Anasagunticooks 
they were less disturbed in their hunting and fishing, and 
suffered less by the encroachments of the white settlers than 



8 HISTORICAL. 

any other tribe; yet, notwithstanding this freedom from in- 
terruption, none were more hostle or vindictive toward the 
colonists. The Androscoggins were the first to "dig up" the 
tomahawk and the last to "bury" it. 

During King Philip's War the Anasagunticooks, under 
their Sagamore, Tarumkin, were very active, many of their 
number joining Philip's forces in Massachusetts. Tarumkin 
was a man strongly attached to his country and jealous of 
its rights. He was brave, but of no great intellect or 
strength of character. After the close of this war was a 
period of peace, lasting ten years, during which Worumbee, 
who, in 1684, had granted large tracts of land on the lower 
Androscoggin to Richard Wharton of Boston, became chief 
Sagamore. But at the breaking out of King William's War 
he was among the first to renew the confiict with the colon- 
ists, making the first attack on North Yarmouth, August 
13, 1688. The natives of the Androscoggin exhibited so 
much ferocity and inhumanity that the Government at 
Boston sent an expedition, under Major Church, to destroy 
Worumbee's Fort at the Upper Falls on the river (at Lewis- 
ton), where he arrived Sept. 14, 1690, having marched up 
the river from Brunswick. According to Major Church's re- 
port, they attacked the fort by surprise, killed six or seven, 
and took eleven prisoners; a lad about eighteen making his 
escape "to another place where there was corn, about 40 or 
50 miles up." This place was doubtless Canton Point, the 
Rockomeko of the Indians. 

The story is told that on one occasion the Rockomeko 
Indians were proceeding down the river by night to attack 



HISTOKICAL. 9 

Topsham. They sent ahead one of their number to kindle 
signal fires on the island afc Lewiston, above the falls, that 
they might not be drawn over the falls. Having built the 
fires the Indian went to the cabin of a settler who had lo- 
cated near the falls and who now surmised the Indians were 
on the war path. He got the Indian drunk and learned 
from him the story of the approaching party; after further 
treating the innocent traitor until he was unable to inter- 
fere, he rowed to the island, extinguished the fires, and built 
others farther down the stream; when the unsuspecting 
party of warriors arrived in their canoes, supposing the 
fires to be on the island, they unwittingly floated too near 
the falls and were carried over to their death. 

King William's War lasted ten years, which were years 
of bloodshed and destruction to the coast settlements. 
During Queen Ann's War the Anasagunticooks were not so 
prominent as they had been hitherto. Hodgkins, who had 
become Chief was a brave warrior, but the tribe had become 
terribly wasted away during the many years of fighting. 
About 1703 the French induced many of them, together 
with the remnants of other tribes in Maine, to retire to 
Canada, where they settled along the St. Francois, and have 
since been known as the "St. Francis Tribe." But there were 
a few of the tribe in their native haunts for many years 
after. In 1747 there were mustered 160 warriors, many 
having also died of small pox, and at the breaking out of 
the Revolution there were about forty of this tribe who 
made the shores, the ponds and the islands of the Andros- 
coggin their home. The name Anasagunticook is perpetu- 



10 HISTOEICAL. 

ated only in the name of the lake at Canton village, and the 
Indian village by Rockomeko mountain in the northern 
part of the town. 

True and pathetic are the words of Charles Sprague: 

"Alas for them, their day is o'er, 

Their fires are out from hill and shore; 

No more for them the wild deer bounds, 

The plough is on their hunting grounds; 

The pale man's axe rings through their woods, 

The pale man's sail skims o'er their floods. 

Cold with the beast he slew, he sleeps; 

O'er him no filial spirit weeps; 

No crowds throng 'round, no anthem notes ascend 

To bless his coming and embalm his end; 

Even that he lived is for his conqueror's tongue. 

By foes alone his death song must be sung." 



PHIPS^ CANADA PROPRIETARY. 

Before the arrival of settlers in this section, and follow- 
ing the disappearance of the native tribe there was a period 
during which the primeval forest was disturbed only by the 
native beasts, or by the last remaining Indian hunters and, 
occasionally, by the advent of adventurous hunters and 
trappers of the succeeding race of white men. 

Up to 1771 the territory now incorporated within the 



HISTOEICAL. 11 

towns of Jay and Canton formed part of the unappropri- 
ated public lands "east of the Saco." During that year a 
grant was made of this territory, subsequently known as 
"Phips' Canada," until the incorporation of the town of 
Jay in 1795, and not until 1821 was the present town of 
Canton (with the exception of a small section received from 
the town of Hartford) separated from the mother town to 
become an independent organization. 

The following accounts are from the records of the pro- 
prietary which are now in the possession of the town of Jay. 
They cover the entire period of the founding of these towns, 
continuing until the final dissolution of the proprietary, 
three years after the town became an incorporated body. 

PETITION FOR A TOWNSHIP. 

PKOVINCE OF MASSACHUSETTS BAY. 

To the Honorable Thomas Hutchinson, Esq., Lieutenant 
Governor and Commander in Chief of His Majesty's said 
Province, the Honorable Council and House of Eepre- 
sentatives in General Court assembled, March 15, 1770. 

The Petition of the Subscribers, humbly Sheweth, 
That your Petitioners are the Legal Representatives of 
Sundry Persons who were in His Majesty's Service in the 
Expedition to Canada in the year 1690 and Suffered greatly 
by their hard and Difficult Service. Several of which Per- 
sons Lost their Lives in the Service and Some others soon 
after their Return, by which means Several Families were 
Reduced from Comfortable Circumstances to Penury and 
thereby Disabled from Petitioning the General Court and 



12 HISTORICAL. 

pursuing the settlement of uncultivated Lands, and Others 
Intimidated therefrom by Reason of the Perfidy & Cruelty 
of the Vile Indians; and some Others in affluent Circumstan- 
ces thinking it then, as Some do at this Day, Scarcely worth 
their notice, only for the benefit of Others, and the Utility 
of the Publick in general, whilst some others then Capable 
of Persuing and well knowing the goodness of the Lands 
then to be taken up in the Western Parts of the Province, 
have Petitioned and obtained Several Townships of Land 
more than Thirty years Since, which are now become Flour- 
ishing Towns and greatly Beneficial to the Province as well 
as Profitable to the Proprietors, and vastly Superior, both 
in Quality and Situation, to what are now to be obtained. 
And whereas Several of your Petitioners and the Predeces- 
sors of the Others, preferred a Petition to the Great and 
General Court Several years since, humbly Requesting a 
Grant of Land for said Extraordinary Service, and the Le- 
gality of their Claims (with Divers Others who then ob- 
tained Grants) were made out to the acceptance of a Com- 
mittee appointed by said Honorable Court for that purpose, 
and were by said Committee Selected into particular Socie- 
ties in order for their having Townships granted to them, 
but by the Negligence of some Persons who were Employed 
to Prefer and Pursue said Petition, and by Reason of Ex- 
traordinary Casualities the affair was Retarded, so that 
neither your Petitioners nor their Predecessors, nor any 
Others in their behalf have obtained any Grant or Gratuity 
for said Extraordinary Services. Whereas, your Petitioners 
humbly Pray, Notwithstanding their Neglect, or the Negli- 



HISTOEICAL. 13 

gence of their Predecessors in not pursuing the affair in 
proper Season, that this most Honorable Court would now 
be Pleased to Grant them a Township of Land, in such a 
Situation as shall be thought most Expedient, and your 
most humble Suppliants, as in Duty Bound, Shall ever Pray. 
Signed David Phips, Esq. 

And seventy-one others. 

The committee appointed by the General Court to con- 
sider this petition reported favorably, as follows; 

In the House of Representatives, June 11th, 1771, 
Resolved that there be Granted to David Phips, Esq., and 
others mentioned in the Petition, a Township of the contents 
of six miles and three-quarters square, to be laid out adjoin- 
ing to some former Grant in the unappropriated Lands in 
this Province to the Eastward of Saco River, provided the 
Grantees within seven years settle Eighty Families in said 
Township, Build a House for the Public worship of God and 
settle a learned Protestant Minister and lay out one eighty- 
fourth part for the first settled Minister, one Eighty-fourth 
part for the Ministry, one Eighty-fourth part for the Use of a 
School in said Township, and one eighty-fourth part for the 
Use of Harvard College forever; provided also that they 
return a plan thereof, taken by a Surveyor & chainmen under 
Oath, into this Court within twelve months. 

This resolution passed the Council the same day, and 
was "consented to" and signed by "T. Hutchinson" Lieuten- 
ant Governor. 

On April 22, 1772, a plan of a township was presented 
containing the contents of six miles and three-quarters 



14 HISTOEICAL. 

square (exclusive of the allowance of one thousand Acres for 
Sway of chain and Two thousand Acres for Ponds & Rivers). 
Bounded as followeth, Beginning at a pine Tree on the west- 
wardly side of Amarascoggin river, thence across said 
River on the head line of a Township granted to Samuel 
Livermore and Others due East Two hundred & thirty two 
Chains, twenty five Links to a Stake and Stones; thence 
north on Province Land Five hundred and twelve Chains to 
a heap of Stones," etc., the other lines being through prov- 
ince land and all corners marked by "a Stake and Stones," 
until the northern line of Livermore was again reached. 
The pine tree stood on the northern line of Livermore and 
on the bank of the Androscoggin River. This township, con- 
taining over 31,000 acres, according to the above mentioned 
figures, was granted the petitioners, under the above men- 
tioned conditions, and soon beceme known as "Phips' Can- 
ada." 

The proprietors of this grant of land, were residents of 
Charlestown, Cambridge, Watertown, Waltham, Weston 
and Newton, all in Massachusetts, and held their first Pro- 
prietors' meeting at the house of Bezaleed Leonard, in 
Watertown, July 1, 1771, when a committee, consisting of 
Messrs. Abijah Brown, Elisha Harrington and Israel Whitte. 
more, was chosen to choose and lay out the township. Sub- 
sequent proprietors' meetings were held at the homes, or 
"inns" of the several proprietors, many of them being held 
at the inns of Capt. Jonathan Brewer and Capt. Isaac Glea- 
son, in Waltham. Alexander Shepard, of Newton, was pro- 
prietors' clerk for many years, until July 25, 1787, and for 



HISTOEICAL. 15 

his faithful and efficient services received a g:rant of 200 
acres of the undivided land in this township. The elegant 
and legible handwriting of Mr. Shepard, and his correct 
spelling reflect much credit upon his education and ability. 
He was succeeded by William Fisk, Esq., as clerk, who filled 
the oflice until the proprietary was dissolved. 

The first division of lots was made on June 30, 1773, 
home lots being drawn on the east side of "Amarascoggin" 
river, and an allo,ttment of the public lands on 
the west side was made at the same time. The 
following is a list of the proprietors receiving lots, 
with the number of their lots and ranges, on the 
east side of the river. These are arranged according to the 
number of the "draughts:" Jacob Gibbs, lot 4, range 11;

John Ivory, 15-5; Alex. Shepard, 13-5; School lot, 9-12. 
Each lot contained approximately 100 acres, and each draft 
also gave title to a like area west of the river. 

At the same meeting a committee was chosen to clear a 
way to the township. 

At a proprietors' meeting, held April 12, 1774, a vote 
was made to give £4 to each of the first ten settlers who should 
clear ten acres of land in this township and seed it with grass 
or grain, build a house sixteen feet square, and settle within 
one and one-half years. 

The second division of lots was made, June 29, 1774, 



HISTOEICAL. 17 

but on account of hardships occasioned by the breaking out 
of the Kevolution, the proprietors were unable to fill the con- 
ditions of settlement within the stated seven years. Upon 
petition they were granted, Feb. 9, 1779, seven years more 
to complete the conditions. No settlements seem to have 
been made up to this time, for a liberal reward was still 
offered to the first ten settlers. It is probable that few set- 
tled here previous to the erection of the proprietors' mill. 

The Proprietors Mi/?— Several attempts were made by 
the proprietors to erect a saw and grist mill for the encour- 
agement of settlers. On March 27, 1787, a committee was 
appointed to choose the best location fora mill in town, and 
on Nov. 20, following, a second committee was appointed to 
receive proposals from any one or ones who would erect the 
mills. The following report, dated April 6th, 1791, was 
made by the committee, which consisted of Capt. Richard 
Peabody, Col. Josiah Fuller and Capt. Moses Stone. 

"We, the Subscribers, the Major part of a Committee 
appointed by the Proprietors of the Township of Phips' Can- 
ada, for the purpose of looking out the most suitable mill 
spot in said Township for the accommodation of the Settlers 
therein and for agreeing with some suitable person to erect 
mills thereon, have attended that service, and beg leave to 
report our doings thereon as lolloweth, namely, — we care- 
fully viewed all the streams in said Township and were of 
Opinion that on Lott No. 6, in Range No. 5 on the east side 
of Amariscoggin River in said Township, on a Brook called 
Musqueto Brook (below Jay depot) was the most suitable 
place in said Township for the purpose aforesaid; and we

thereupon contracted with Deacon Elijah Livermore to 
erect a grist mill and saw mill thereon and keep them in 
good repair for the use of the Settlers in said Township & 
others for the term of ten years from and after the comple- 
tion of said Mills; for the Consideration of fifty pounds. 
And he has accordingly erected said Mills and given suflS- 
cient bonds to the treasurer of this property," etc. 

signed by Josiah Fuller Junr. 

Moses Stone Junr. 
a Major part of said Committee. 

The same committee was also chosen at the same time 
"to lay out a road from Sandy-river-road to such part of 
the town as they shall judge most expedient for the interest 
of said property." April 2, 1789, they reported having "laid 
out and cleared a road from said Sandy Kiver Koad, thro 
said Township until it meets the road formerly cleared in 
said township leading across Seven- Mile-Brook (so called) 
at about the distance of two miles east of said Brook." 

Much effort was made by the proprietors to encourage 
settlement although not many of their number were among 
those who made their homes here. Many lots were taken up 
by the sons and sons-in-law of the owners, and after the 
beginning of the settlement the number increased rapidly. 
At a proprietors' meeting held April 6, 1791, a tax was 
assessed for the purpose of erecting the first meeting house. 
This was erected, but not completed. It remained the prop- 
erty of the proprietary until Jan. 2, 1797, when they voted 
to "'quit claim and give up" to the inhabitants of Jay the 
house erected by the proprietary for a place of worship, 



HISTOEICAL. 19 

together with the lot of land occupied by the house, corapris- 
iug about two acres. 

At the last meeting of the proprietors, held in Water- 
town, Sept. 3, 1798, a vote was made to pay "to the treas- 
urer of Jay all surplus monies in the hands of the proprietary 
treasurer," to be appropriated toward finishing the meeting 
house in this town. The proprietary was then dissolved, 
having existed twenty-seven years, — during which time a 
flourishing town had been created, which, within a quarter 
of a century, was destined to form two of Maine's enterpris- 
ing and prosperous incorporated centres. 



INCORPORATION 

The plantation known as Phips' Canada was, on Feb. 
26, 1795, incorporated, the town of Jay, by the General 
Court of Massachusetts. This town was named in honor of 
Hon. John Jay, then a leading statesman, and was incorp- 
orated two days before its sister town, Livermore. The 
bounds of the original township, as given in the act of incorp- 
oration are these : — 

Beginning at a maple(?)tree standing in the northeaster- 
ly corner of Livermore (now East Livermore) thence running 
north six miles one hundred and twenty-eight rods ; thence 
west four miles two hundred and seventy-two rods to a 



20 HISTORICAL. 

beech tree marked ; thence south forty degrees west six miles 
two hundred and eight rods to a pine tree standing on the 
bank of Androscoggin River; thence across said river the 
same course one hundred and eight rods to a hemlock tree ; 
thence south nineteen degrees east, till it intersects a line 
running south sixty-five degrees west from the north west 
corner of Livermore; thence on the northerly line of Liver- 
more to the first mentioned bound. 

By the Act of Incorporation Edward Richardson Esq., 
was authorized to issue a warrant calling the first town 
meeting. This warrant he directed to Wm. Livermore, call- 
ing a meeting to be held at the meeting house, on the first 
Monday in April, 1795. 

At this first town meeting in Jay, Moses Craft was chosen 
moderator; Wm. Livermore, town clerk; Peter Asting, Sam- 
uel W. Eustis and Wm. Goding, selectmen; Wm. Livermore, 
town treasurer; Wm. Livermore, Samuel W. Eustis and 
Wm. Goding, assessor; Wm. Peabody and Oliver Fuller, 
constables. 

On February 5, 1821, an act to divide the town of Jay 
and to incorporate the westerly part into a township by the 
name of Canton, lor Canton, in Massachusetts, was passed 
by the Maine legislature and signed by the first governor of 
the state. The dividing line between Jay and Canton estab- 
lished at this time was as follows: "Beginning atthesouth- 
east corner of breakage lot No. 8 in the sixth range on the 
north line of the town of Livermore; thence north on the 
east line of said number, or tier of lots, to the north-east 
corner of lot No. 8 in the second range on the westerly side 



HISTORICAL. 21 

of Androscoggin River; otherwise said lot to extend so far 
north that a west course across said river will strike the 
north line of lot No. 6, in the tenth range on the easterly 
side of said river; thence west in said north line to the south- 
east corner of lot No 7 in the eleventh range; thence north 
on the east line of said range to the south-east corner of lot 
No. 14 in said eleventh range; thence west in the north line 
of said number or tier of lots to the south line of the town of 
Dixfield "etc.— Provided, however, that Israel Bean, Joseph 
Lawrence, Joseph Strout and John Drought, with their fam- 
ilies and estates, and also lot No. 8, in the eleventh range, 
shall remain a part of and belong to the town of Jay." Ad- 
ditions have since been made to the town of Canton by an- 
nexing lots from the town of Hartford on the south. 

The town of Canton, although having more than one- 
third of the territory of the old town, received that propor- 
tion of all public property, and of the ministerial and school 
funds, also to hold all public lands that fell within her bor- 
ders; likewise, she assumed one-third of the liabilities of the 
town of Jay at the time of separation. James Starr, Esq., 
of Jay Hill, issued the first warrant for a town meeting in 
the new town ; this he directed to Joseph Holland, the meet- 
ing to be held in the school-house near Mr. Holland's, at 
Canton Point, March 28, 1821. At this meeting John 
Hearsey presided as moderator; Dr. Cornelius Holland was 
chosen town clerk, which office he tilled for ten years ; Joel 
Howard became treasurer, and Joseph Holland, Abiathar 
Austen and Joseph Coolidge, Jr. were elected selectmen of 
the new town.

EARLY SETTLEMENT 

Atthetime the grant of "Phips' Canada" was made, this 
town formed a part of Cumberland and Lincoln counties ; 
the Androscoggin river being the boundary line between 
them, with Cumberland on the south-west. The lands in this 
section were distinguished as "the unappropriated lands 
east of the Saco," but the sales or grants made began along 
the lower course of the river, each new township being 
located to the north, west, or east of those already chosen, 
as the grantees' representatives considered the locations 
most desirable. The grant of a township was made to the 
proprietors of the present towns of Livermore and East 
Livermore on the same day the grant was made to David 
Phips and his associates, and Elisha Harrington, one of the 
committee appointed to lay out this township, was also 
employed by the Livermore proprietors. It is probable that 
the latter township was laid out only a few weeks previous 
to this one, the location chosen by them being the fertile val- 
ley of the Androscoggin, north of Sylvester, Canada 
(Turner) ; and that chosen by the succeeding party was sur- 
veyed still farther north in the same valley including the 
broad intervales where were earlier confields of the departed 
natives, at Canton Point. It is said that the hills on the 
cornfields were plainly visible to the surveying party. 

We are informed that there were no permanent settle- 
ments made in this township prior to the close of the Revo- 
lution, and, indeed, it seems doubtful that the required ten 



HISTOEICAL. 23 

families were settled before the year 1786. The first perma- 
nent settlement made in the townships was in the -vicinity of 
Jay Hill, and the proprietors' mill was erected on the brook 
to the south. The early arrivals seem to have been very 
intimate with these in Livermore, and it is probable that 
the pioneers were also connected in their meagre business 
relations, grinding at the same mill, and assisting each 
other in "raising" the substantial frames for their dwellings, 
when they had become able to replace their original log- 
cabins (for many of them erected log-cabins) with the 
spacious square houses of which so many have withstood 
the blasts of nearly one hundred winters. 

Who was the first to build his cabin on Jay Hill we are 
unable to say, but James Starr was among the first, and 
was one of the most prominent men in the settlement. He 
erected the house now occupied by A. K. Holmes near the 
town house, for a hotel, the old stage line running through 
here at an early date. Mr. Starr was appointed the first 
Postmaster in Jay, Dec. 20, 1814, the notification being 
sent to the postmaster at Livermore, which ofiice it is pre- 
sumed served this locality until that time, following its es- 
tablishment. The hotel was first occupied by Thomas 
Winslow, as landlord, he having married a daughter of Esq. 
Starr. 

Samuel Crafts came to Jay Hill about 1793 and settled 
on the farm since known by his name. His son, Nathan, 
settled on Gross Hill, where he erected a log cabin, but soon 
removed to his father's farm. Samuel, Jr., located on the 
farm just north of his father's, and Moses settled on the 



24 HISTOEICAL. 

summit of the hill. These families and their descendants 
have been generally interested in agriculture and have taken 
up and occupied some of the best farms in the town, or 
county. 

Ezekiel Richardson, Esq., a man looked to for legal in- 
struction, erected his house where the town oflBce now 
stands. He was an early trader at his store near by, 

Aruna Holmes, who came about 1803, had a store on 
the opposite side of the street. He built the house now occu- 
pied by H. O. Holmes, his son, and was for many years a 
prominent manulacturer on Jay Hill. 

Rev. Joseph Adams, who became the first settled pastor 
of the parish, was another of the early settlers on the Hill; 
others were J. Fuller, Samuel Jackson, Isaac West and Dan- 
iel Merritt, who first settled near Peterson's Rips. 

Settlements were made in the vicinity of North Jay soon 
after the first at Jay Hill. Nathaniel Jackson, one of the 
first arrivals, settled the Niles Farm, east of the quarries; 
E. Kyes, who owned the lot on which the granite ledges are 
located; Oliver Fuller, on old Fuller Farm; Thomas Fuller, 
on the Briggs farm; Samuel W. Eustis, east of the quarries 
and Daniel Rowell, were all early in this locality. 

Stone's Corner, in the south-eastern part of the town, 
received its name from Moses Stone, an early and prominent 
citizen, Scarborough Parker, Joseph Hyde, Nathaniel Bridge, 
Ebenezer Whittemore, Isaac Parkhurst and Jedediah White 
were here in 1798, forming part of school district No. 3. 
Thos. Dascomb came soon after this date. 

Israel Bean was a prominent man in that part of the 



HISTORICAL. 25 

town known as Bean's Corner. Those who were living in 
this locahty in 1798 were Wm. Chenery, Joseph Coolidge, 
Wm. Goding, Edward Kichardson, Esq., and Wm. Peabody, 
comprising district No. 4. 

Wm. Li verm ore, son of Dea. EHjah Livermore of the 
town named for him, was one of the leading spirits of the 
early proprietary, and was chosen the first clerk and treas- 
urer of the town. He lived in the south-western part of the 
town, in the part forming school district No. 1 when the 
town was districted in 1798. His neighbors were Peter 
Austen, Abraham Peterson, Edward Shepard, and Henry 
Goding. This was later incorporated within Canton. Dis- 
trict No. 2, included the northern part of the town. 

Among others who were prominent in the early town, 
and who have done much for her development, or have left 
a numerous posterity to continue their work, we would men- 
tion Samuel and Benj. Bean, Richard Drout, Eliphalet Gray, 
Japhet Allen, Mark and Geo. Wilson, John Clark, Wm. 
French, Daniel Child, Libeus Leach, Edward Lock, Josiah 
Mills, Thomas and Joseph Macomber, Joshua Walton, Asa 
More, Thos. Paine, Enoch Noyes, John Richardson, Samuel 
Whiting, Dexter Walker, Joseph Winter, Ephraim Weston, 
John Axtell, Solomon and Peter Bartlett, Seth Bemis, 
Joseph Brown, Levi Ball and Samuel Cole. Many of these 
settled within the territory afterwards incorporated as Can- 
ton. It will be observed that few of the grantees settled 
here, indeed, it was a new generation of men who finally 
took up and cleared the lots obtained from the Massachus- 
etts Bay Government by these enterprising men on account 



26 HISTOEICAL. 

of the service rendered by their ancestors, and it was for their 
posterity to reap the full benefits derived from establishing 
a flourishing township.

INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT 

For several years after the settlement of the town of Jay 
the men of the town gave their attention to the cultivation 
of the fertile valley lands which then, as now, well repaid 
their honest toil. Soon a few of the owners of extensive 
lands, and other enterprising men who saw the immense 
wealth in the noble forest trees which covered all lands which 
had not been cleared for tillage, began the manufacture of 
timber on a large scale. We have noted, in the proprietors' 
records, the erection of the first mill in town, which stood on 
Mosquito Brook. This and others erected in other parts of 
the town not long after, were operated for local custom, and 
ground the farmer's grisfc of wheat, rye or corn, until com- 



HISTOEICAL. 29 

paratively recent jears. The arrival of the railroad in Liv- 
ermore Falls, in 1852, and its subsequent extension to North 
Jay, in 1857, opened up new opportunities to lumber manu- 
facturers, and it was soon after this that this industry 
increased so in importance. 

But these people were not entirely dependent on steam 
traffic to dispose of manufactured goods, for a large cabinet 
manufactory was carried on for many years prior to 1850> 
by Aruna Holmes, in a large 2-story building located 
between his house and store on Jay Hill. 

The first mill at Jay Bridge was built by Thomas Wins- 
low and Francis Lawrence just below the north end of the 
bridge; this was taken out by a freshet, rebuilt with a grist 
mill added, and finally burned. A long lumber steam mill 
for sawing and grinding was erected by Hutchinson and 
Lane around 1872; this was purchased byE. H. Thompson, 
about 1880, and operated by him for four years. This was 
a large mill, situated just above the village near the corn 
shop, and while operated by Mr. Thompson, had a large 
novelty mill connected which created considerable activity 
in the village. This mill was burned during the last of Jan- 
uary, 1884, just after the expiration of its term of insurance. 

The chief manufacturing industries in Jay at the present 
time, and those to which she owes her prestige as one of the 
leading manufacturing centres of the State, are the manu- 
facture of pulp, begun in 1888, the manufacture of paper, 
begun in 1890, and the operations of her valuable granite 
quarries, which became of great commercial importance 
about 1888. 



30 mSTOEICAL. 

PULP AND PAPER MANUFACTURE 

The Otis Falls Pulp Company was organized in 1888, 
with a capital stock of |150,000. The mill is Justin theedge 
of Jay, in Livermore Falls village, and is the industry which 
has created the village of Chisholm. The paper mill at this 
place was established in 1890, important additions having 
since been made. In 1892, there were two Fourdrinier 
machines in use, which number has since been increased to 
eight, producing 200 tons of paper per day. 34 grinders 
are operated in the pulp mill here, and 100 tons of pulp is 
produced each day. 450 men are employed. 

The pulp mills at Jay and at Eiley, as well as that at 
Chisholm and other places, are operated by the Interna- 
tional Paper Co. A pulp mill was erected at Jay, by Alvin 
Record, which he operated in connection with one in Liver- 
more, until he sold to the Falmouth Paper Co. This com- 
pany built the paper mill in 1892, and operated both the 
pulp and paper mills until they sold to the present owners, 
since which the paper mill has not been in operation much, 
and now the machinery has been removed. The pulp mill 
here now produces 25 tons of ground wood, which is shipped 
to the Otis Falls and Eumford Falls paper mills. Thirteen 
grinders are in use, and from 40 to 50 men are employed. 

The railroad from Canton to Livermore Falls was put in 
in 1896-7, and the new pulp mill at Riley's was erected on 
what were known as "Peterson's Rips," about as near the 
Canton line as the Otis Falls mill is to the Livermore Line. 
This was built by the International Paper Co. in 1897, and 



HISTOEICAL. 31 

has a capacity of 100 tons per day, haviog 22 grinders, and 
giving employment to 100 men. 

These several mills, together with that at Livermore, 
and others at Rumford Falls, are all operated from the main 
office of this division, at Chisholm. Edwin Riley, whose 
home is in Livermore Falls, is divisional superintendent; 
Geo. Dow is superintendent of the Otis Falls mills, at Chis- 
holm; E. H. Strout, of the Falmouth mill, at Jay; and T. 
J. Foley, of the Riley mill. 

The weekly pay roll of this company, in Jay, amounts to 
$7,500. Their mills occupy the three excellent water powers 
which fall within the limits of this town, on the Androscog- 
gin river, and by their industries have perhaps done more to 
advance the interests of this town than has any other con- 
cern. 

NORTH JAY GRANITE QUARRIES 

The quarries at North Jay have been operated more or 
less for the last one hundred years, up to the last fifteen or 
eighteen years, principally for underpinning, monumental 
work, etc. The monumental dealers throughout the coun- 
try, and especially in the State of Maine, recognizing the 
value of this stone created quite a demand lor it, owing to 
its whiteness and its uniformity of color. 

In the year 1886, a corporation was formed, known as 
the North Jay Granite Company, the officers being J. H. 
Emery, North Jay, Me., and Geo. W. Wagg, Auburn, Me. 
This company operated but a short time, principally in the 
line of manufacturing paving, curbing and a cruder class of 



32 HISTORICAL. 

work. In 1887 or 1888, a new organization, called the 
Maine & New Hampshire Granite Company, took possession 
of the quarries, the officers being, Payson Tucker, J. H. 
Emery, G. W. Wagg with Geo. C. Wing of Auburn, as clerk. 
The new company found it advisable to operate on a 
broader scale and accordingly employed J. P. Murphy of 
Lewiston, Me., as General Supt. Mr. Murphy having a 
practical knowledge of all branches of the business enabled 
the new company to quickly enlarge its plant, having 
secured some very desirable contracts in the meantime, one 
of these contracts being the Grant Tomb, Riverside Park, 
New York. Since the erection of this monument some of the 
largest and finest structures and memorials in the world 
have been erected from the North Jay granite, a few of the 
most notable being, the R. G. Dunn Bldg., Lower Broadway, 
N. Y.; the Bowling Green Bldg., New York; Smith Memorial, 
Fairmount Park, Philadelphia; the Queen's Insurance Bldg., 
and the Commercial Cable Bldg., New York; Wm. A. Clark 
residence, Fifth Ave., New York; Clark Mausoleum, Wood- 
lawn Cemetery, New York; Wayne Co. Court House, Detroit, 
Mich.; the Union Co. Court House, Elizabeth, N. J.; New 
York Life Ins. Bldg., Chicago, etc. 

In 1903 the Me. & N. H. Granite Company went out of 
existence and the North Jay Granite Company was formed, 
and operated the quarries for about fifteen months. The 
officers of this company being J. P. Murphy, president and 
general manager; F. A. Emery, vice president; Jas. H. Ray- 
mond, treasurer; Geo. E. Munroe, general superintendent. 
During the short time this company was in existence over 



HISTORICAL. 33 

nine thousand tons of crushed rock were produced from this 
quarry and very nearly a million pavino; blocks, in addition 
to their building and monumental work. During the life of 
the North Jay Granite Company their contracts amounted 
to over 1700,000.00. 

The sharp demand for North Jay granite necessitated 
the enlargement in their operating capacity of the quarries, 
consequently a new company was formed which now exists 
under the name of the Maine & New Hampshire Granite Cor- 
poration; the officers of this company being J. P. Murphy, 
president and general manager; F. A. Emery, vice president; 
Francis Ferguson, treasurer; Geo. E. Munroe, general super- 
intendent, at North Jay, Me., and I. C. Pert, general superin- 
tendent, at Redstone, N. H.; A. W. Hall, assistant treasurer, 
at Redstone, N. H ; and Jas. H. Raymond, assistant treas- 
urer, at North Jay, Me. 

The granite on the hills of North Jay is so conveniently 
located, that all the material is handled by gravity, thus 
eliminating steam power, and other expensive means usually 
exercised in transporting granite from the quarries to the 
cutting shops. The quarry is of a strataformation, the lay- 
ers ranging from 5'' to 10' thick, which is of great impor- 
tance as it enables the quarrymen to select most any dimen- 
sion required, with very little labor. 

In former years the Maine Central R. R. operated more 
or less on the hills of North Jay, also the Bryant Bros., and 
the American Stone Co., but at the present time these quar- 
ries are idle. The contracts on hand the present year at 
North Jay amount to half a million dollars. Although most 



34 HISTORICAL. 

quarries close down during the winter months throughout 
New England, our No. Jay quarries usually operate steady 
throughout the winter. The company employed this winter 
about three hundred men, and as soon as the snow and frost 
leaves the quarries this number will be increased to six or 
seven hundred mechanics and laborers. The pay roll of the 
company at the present time is about thirty thousand dol- 
lars per month. 

LUMBER AND WOOD-WORKING MILLS 

The steam mill operated by Gordon Bros., at Chisholm, 
has been steadily running since it was established here by 
them in August, 1898. The concern had previously operated 
mills in Livermore Falls and New Sharon, the latter of which 
is still under their management. 

At the Jay mill there are three separate departments, 
the mill for the manufacture of all kinds of house buildiug 
material and finish, a stave and head mill, and a cooper 
shop. During the season of 1904, over 50,000 apple barrels 
were made and sold throughout the surrounding section 
(which is excellent orchard land) or shipped to other parts. 
All kinds of wood are used, about half of which is hauled in 
from the town. The mill has been extensively enlarged since 
it was established here, and at the present time employs an 
average of 25 men during the year. The amount of last sea- 
son's business amounted to around |50,000, and is steadily 
increasing. The concern consists of Frank B. and Chas. H. 
Gordon, both of whom are well-known and respected 
men in the town. 



' HISTOEICAL. 35 

The jay Wood Turning Company, at Jay village, is a 
corporation established about five years ago, for the manu- 
facture of all kinds of novelty wood turning. The factory is 
located on the west side of the Androscoggin, opposite the 
Falmouth mill, and has been of great value in the locality in 
giving employment to a large number of men since the 
removal of the paper mill machinery. 125 hands are 
emploj^ed by this concern during the winter season, and 75 
during the summer months. K. H. Thompson, who has been 
a leading man in Jay for many years, is president and gen- 
eral manager of the corporation, and Carl C. Thompson, his 
son, secretary and treasurer. 

The corn canning factory, at Jay, now operated in its 
season by the Saco Valley Canning Company, was established 
by Mr. Thompson several years ago. It has several times 
changed hands, but has been in active operation. Corn, 
apples and squashes are canned in large quantities, being 
raised for the purpose by the surrounding farmers. 



MILITARY MATTERS 



The town of Jay is justly entitled to the high esteem of 
the state and nation ior the loyal support of the interests 
of the American government in military matters. Previous 
to the Revolution this place was uninhabited, but several of 



36 HISTOEICAL. 

the men who came here durino; the last years of the eight- 
eenth century had f ought in the American army for national 
freedom. The early years of development were unbroken 
years of peace, until the breaking out of the War of 1812- 
14, when again the American army was forced to take up 
arms to defend her national rights and liberties, so nobly 
bought by our fathers. 

From the close of the War of 1812-1814 there was a 
long period of peace in American history, during which time 
the young nation made remarkable strides in progress and 
development. The northeastern boundary question caused 
considerable disturbance in Maine during the first third of 
the last century, and was not finally settled until the Ash- 
burton Treaty was signed in 1842. Much agitation was 
telt throughout the entire state of Maine, which was shared 
to a greater or less extent by other states of the Union. In 
1839 this feeling took on the appearance of war, and the 
bloodless "Aroostook War" was instituted, when the Gov- 
ernor ordered troops to the eastern frontier. This matter 
however, as before stated, was settled by treaty, reached 
through the appointment of commissioners. 

The Mexican War, which broke out in 1845, although 
participated in by many eastern patriots, especially those 
of coast towns, was not, in the east, a popular measure, 
and was not of sufficient magnitude or duration to require 
any but volunteer service. 

CIVIL WAR. 

But the one war that did stir the entire nation, and 



HISTOKICAL. 37 

which received the most loyal and effective service of every 
northern state, was that which was fought in the cause of 
freedom, and for the maintainance of the American Union. 
If one thing more than another is to be revered and com- 
memorated, impressed upon the minds of the rising genera- 
tion, that thing is the record of names and deeds of men 
who faced the dangers of the battlefield during this trying 
period. As time rolls on we are apt to forget the value of 
the service rendered by the soldiers in war. Each succeed- 
ing generation is more forgetful of these things than its 
predecessor, unless it is taught to revere and love the deeds 
of the soldier. It should be in the mind of each father and 
each mother to instill into the mind of the youth the signifi- 
cance of the inscriptions, "Killed at Gettysburg," "Wound- 
ed at Vicksburg," or "Died at Libby Prison." 

It is with pleasure that we are able to give a list of the 
men who served in the Union ranks from the town of Jay. 
These names, and the part taken by each soldier, are re- 
corded in the reports of the State Adjutant General.

CHURCH AFFAIRS. 

FIRST PARISH, OR BAPTIST CHURCH. 

In the grants of the several towns in the Province of 
Maine by the General Court of Massachusetts, ample pro- 
vision was always made for the support of the gospel minis- 
try, and education. Although the provision made was not 
always accessable until a few years after the settlement 
was begun, preaching was generally had at irregular inter- 
vals until sufficient support could be offered to settle a 
preacher. 

By the terms of the grant of this township one eighty- 
fourth part of the land (about 400 acres), was set apart 
for the first settled minister, and the same amount for the 
support of the ministry; a house of worship was also to be 
erected within seven years from the date of the grant, but 
on account of the Revolutionary War a further extension 
of time, seven years longer, was made lor the fulfillment of 
the terms of settlement. 

Not until 1791 do we find any mention made of erecting 
a meeting-house in the proprietary, but it is very probable 
that until this time there was little need of a public house. 
This house was unfinished in 1798, as shown by the proprie- 
tors' records of that date, and it is said the house was never 
completed, although it was used as a house of worship until 
the erection of a fine, large edifice, in 1808 or 1809, when 
the old house was sold for a barn. The new house which 



40 mSTOEICAL. 

was erected on Jay Hill, near the site of the old meeting- 
house, was erected by Samuel W. Eustis, Daniel Kowell, and 
Nathan Crafts, of Jay, and Thomas Davis of Livermore, a 
committee appointed for that purpose. This was a very 
fine structure for the time, built on the old English style 
which was so much followed at the beginning of the nine- 
teenth century. There were broad galleries around three 
sides of the church, with the elevated pulpit and a flight of 
stairs leading to it in the other end. The building was dec- 
orated with a steeple for many years; this at length became 
decayed and was pulled down one fourth of July. The grand 
old building, which was probably the finest edifice in town 
for several years, though now robbed of its beauty, is a 
familiar sight to the towns people, it having been purchased 
by the town about 1873 and now serves for a town house. 

The First Baptist Church society was organized on Fri- 
day, July 5, 1799, by a council from the churches at Fayette 
and Livermore, which assembled in the old meeting house. 
The society then organized consisted of Wm. and Hannah 
Goding, Oliver and Polly Fuller, Thomas and Martha Ful- 
ler, Joseph and Betsey Winter, Oliver Peabody, Hannah 
Eddy, Wm. Bachelor, and Wm. Eustis. It is understood 
that these members were dismissed from the Livermore 
church by Elder Smith for the purpose of forming this so- 
ciety. On Jan. 11, 1800, Elder Smith visited the church and 
baptized four new members, which number was increased to 
21 during the year. 

The services were generally conducted by brethren one of 
whom, Joseph Adams, became the first settled preacher, Jan.

28, 1804. Rev. Mr. Adams continued in the faithful dis- 
charge of his duties as pastor, until May 16, 1818, when he 
was released at his own request. After that time, Elders 
Joseph Macomber, Joseph Allen and Rev. Mr. Adams sup- 
plied the pulpit until 1821, when Rev. Elias Nelson assumed 
the pastoral care of the church, remaining until 1825. 
Again Rev. Mr. Adams took the pastoral charge of 
this parish for five years, but was then relieved by 
Rev. Nathan Mayhew, who remained until 1833. Rev. 
Elias Nelson then returned to the church, filling 
the pastorate for six years. He was followed by others, 
whose stay was of shorter duration, until the arrival of 
Hugh Dempsey, in 1853. Rev. Mr. Dempsey remained in 
charge until removed by death, May 11, 1859; a beautiful 
memorial window has been placed to his memory in the new 
church by his children. Rev. D. Nutter was the pastor for 
one year following. He was succeeded by Rev. Jeremiah 
Marsh until 1862, when Rev. Mr. Marsh entered the army as 
chaplain of the 28th Maine Regiment. The succeeding pas- 
tors have been: Revs. Phineas Bond, R. B. Andrews, G. W. 
Fuller, James Brownville, L. P. Gurney, F. S. Weston, G. S. 
Smith, G. W. Avery, J. R. Herrick, N. G. French, L. M. Bos- 
worth and Chas. Kitridge, who completed his pastorate dur- 
ing the summer of 1904, since which time the church has 
been without a settled pastor. 

The meeting house, erected so early in the century, was 
used as a house of worship for many years. In 1847 it was 
remodeled extensively. Gradually, however, the village on 
the hill became scattered while that near the "Bridge" grew 



42 HISTORICAL. 

up and there was a call for services nearer that place. Begin- 
ning about 1873, the meetings were held in the hall over 
Adams' store where they were regularly held until the pres- 
ent neat structure was dedicated Nov. 2, 1893. This was 
erected at a cost of |5,088. The parsonage was removed to 
the Bridge from the Hill the same year. 

FIRST UNIVERSALIST SOCIETY 

The funds arising from the sale of the ministerial lands, 
after the separation of other denominations from the first, 
or town parish, were divided among the several denominations 
according to the number of voters of these respectivefaiths. In 
1874 we find the sum was divided between the Universalists, 
Methodist Episcopals, Protestant Methodists, Calvinist Bap- 
tists, Congregationalists, Old School Baptists, Second 
Advents, Spiritualists and Free Baptists, but these denomi- 
nations have not all had organizations in town. 

The Universalist church is perhaps the second oldest, 
there having been a society at North Jay for many years, 
but of this early society we are unable to give any account. 
The present church was erected in 1893, and the parish was 
organized June 3d of that year. The present church organ- 
ization was made April 25, 1897. The pastors who have 
filled the pulpit of this church since the erection of the new 
edifice have been Rev. Blanch A. Wright, who remained four 
years; Rev. Hannah J. Powell, nearly four years; and Rev. 
H. S. Fiske, who came in October, 1904. 

FREE BAPTIST CHURCH— BEAN's CORNER 

We have not obtained the exact date of the organiza- 



HISTORICAL. 43 

tion of this church society, but it was doubtless early in the 
nineteenth century. Orj^anization was made with only five 
members, all women. Following this, services were held in 
dwelling-houses, school-houses or barns for many years, 
until about 1865, when the present church edifice was erected. 
The church has performed much successful work in the town, 
and has sent out a large number of young people into the 
West and also into the eastern part of our own State, thus 
swelling the number of Christian workers in destitute places. 
The following is a list of the men who have filled the pul- 
pit in this church; the list probably contains nearly all, if 
not all, the settled pastors who have officiated here: Revs. 
John Foster, John Chaney, Hubbard Chandler, William 
Badger, S. P. Morrell, Roger Eli, Henry Preble, C. Campbell, 
Orin Pitts, Samuel Wheeler, J. S. Swift, Selden Bean, Lucian 
Graves, David Allen, F. Starbird, C. W. Purington, A. K. 
Simpson, W. A. Tucker, A. D. Gammon, S. Wakeley, W. A. 
Read, W. Butterfield and G. E. Manter. The present pastor 
isRev. W.O.Kearstead,of Lewiston. This church, although 
never situated so as to do a marvelous work and increase 
her membership like the village churches, has been a humble, 
but powerful influence in this entire community, and, shall 
we not say, in the whole earth, wherever her faithful sons 
and daughters have gone to better their fortunes, and to 
live the noble. Christian life which was here taught their 
young hearts and minds by a devoted parentage. 

ST. ROSE CATHOLIC CHURCH 

Previous to the introduction of pulp and paper manufac- 



44 HISTOEICAL. 

ture in Jay, there were very few of this faith in the town, but 
soon after this, a mission was established and attended by 
the priest in Lewiston. The society was formed in 1893, and 
the church erected, close to the Livermore line, in 1894. A 
parochial school was erected on the same lot the following 
year, and the pastor's house in 1896. The missions at 
Bumford Falls and at Canton were attended by the resident 
priest of this parish previous to the organization of Rum- 
ford Falls as a separate parish. Rev. Fr. P. E. Desjardins is 
pastor of St. Rose Church, succeeding Rev. Fr. N. T. Horan, 
who had charge of the parish for many years. 

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, NORTH JAY 

This society was begun by Chas. Williams, a stone cutter, 
who held religious services in the Grange Hall at this village. 
Soon after this a branch society to the Wilton M. E. Church 
was organized, and the pastors of that church began regular 
preaching here. Rev. Alex. Hamilton being the first. Rev. 
Mr. Hamilton was pastor from 1893 to 1895, and was fol- 
lowed by Revs. B. F. Fickett, ]895-'98; Hosea Jewett, 
1898-1900; A. T. Craig, 1900-'05. The church was erected 
during Rev. Mr. Ffckett's pastorate, work being commenced 
June 10, 1896, and the building completed the following 
year, costing $3,500. The present membership of this soci- 
ety is only seven, but regular services are maintained, and 
a Sunday school and Epworth League well supported. 



HISTOEICAL. 45 



SCHOOL ITEMS. 

As for the support of the ministry, so also for the sup- 
port of education, was a lot of nearly 400 acres set apart by 
the terms of the grant. At the division of the town in 1821, 
one-third of the amount realized from the sale of the school 
lands went to the new town, the remainder (amounting, in 
1904, to $1,302,67) has been invested and the interest used 
toward the maintainance of our public schools. 

This shows the value of the provision, but it offered little 
help to the earliest schools, when every effort of the settlers 
was required to maintain their homes and provide food and 
clothes for the numerous children which were found in most 
of the families. However, they reahzed the value of educa- 
tion, and made what provision they were able toward the 
promulgation of knowledge. At their first meeting after 
the incorporation they appropriated 20 pounds for this pur- 
pose, the amount to be paid if desired, "in wheat @ 5 p, rye 
@ 4 p, or corn @ 3 p per bushel" to be delivered to Wm. 
Goding. 

Much was done for schools in 1798, when Wm. Liver- 
more, Samuel Jackson, Joseph Hyde and Wm. Peabody 
were chosen school committee, |400 raised for building 
houses in each of the four districts which were laid out that 
year, and f 100 for the support of schools in the several dis- 
tricts. By 1806, the number of districts had increased to 
seven, and we are told there were at one time over twenty in 
the town. The district system was abolished in 1885 and 



46 HISTORICAL. 

the town system substituted. Under the present system, the 
schools have made rapid advancement, they are well pro- 
vided with suitable houses, and the teachers employed are of 
a superior grade. 

The school houses at Jay and at Chisholm were erected 
in 1890; that at Chisholm was extensively enlarged during 
1903 to accommodate the increased number of attendants. 
Graded schools are maintained at both these villages as well 
as at North Jay, with a high school department at each of these 
places. Formerly a high school was had at Bean's Corner. 
Much credit is due Rev. N. G. French, who established the 
high schools on modern principles while superintendent of 
schools in town. 



PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. 

North Jay Grange, Number 10, P. of H.,was organized 
at this village on the 27th of March, 1874, with nineteen 
charter members. J. 0. Kyes was chosen first master. 

At this time the Grange met in what was locally known 
as the Leland school-house. They later changed their place 
of meeting to Kyes' Hall, and still later to the old cheese Fac- 
tory Hall. In 1889 a stock company was formed and a good 
Grange Hall was erected at a cost of |2,600. This hall was 
used until it was destroyed by fire in Feb., 1895, but, although 



HISTOEICAL. 47 

the hall thus lost was not insured, the present fine structure 
was built the following summer on the old site. This build- 
ing was dedicated July 6, 1895, haying cost $3,000. Since 
being constructed, this building has been remodeled some- 
what in order to accommodate the grange store, which is 
being successfully operated on the ground floor by the agent, 
Henry E. Purington, assisted by S. M. Foster. The store 
has been operated for over twenty years and under careful 
management has always proven a financial success to its 
patrons. The Grange Hall is on the second floor, the third 
floor is used for a dining hall, the entire building being well 
furnished throughout. 

The following have filled the office of master of this order: 
J. 0. Kyes, Orlando Lake, O. G. Kyes, Warren Leland, D, 0. 
Coolidge, Ernest A. Gray, N. H. Campbell, Leslie G. Kyes, 
Nellie P. Kyes, Everett E. Paine, Arthur C. Macomber, Hor- 
ace E. Gray, Leroy N. Crafts. The present leading officers 
are: Mr. Crafts, master; A. B. Morse, overseer; Sadie J. 
Wright, lecturer; S. Murtis Foster, secretary; Harry L. 
Macomber, treasurer; and S. M. Coolidge, chaplain. The 
society now numbers 227 members, which growth speaks 
plainly of its social and educational influence in the village 
and community. 

A society of this order was formed and carried on for 
many years at Jay Bridge, but this has not been operated 
for ten or twelve years.

Census-1903 

The population ot the town of Jay has been ar- 
ranged in families where that arrangement has been 
possible. In these families, in addition to the resident 
living members, the names of the non-resident members 
are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan 
does not include the names of all former residents of this 
town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when 
one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After 
the name of each non-resident will be found the present 
address, when such address has been given to us. Non-resi- 
dents are indicated by the (*). 

When a daughter in a family has married, her name 
taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- 
sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ). 

Following the names of the population is the occu- 
pation, postofRce address, or rural free delivery route. To 
designate the occupations we have used the more common 
abbreviations and contractions, as lollows: Farmer — far; 
carpenter— car; railroad service — E II ser; student, a member 
of an advanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member 
of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached 
the age of five j^ears)— pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; 
physician and surgeon — phy & sur; clergyman — clerg; mer- 
chant — mer; teacher — tr; blacksmith — blk; clerk — cl; book- 
keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic— mech; machinist— 
mach; engineer— eng; maker — mkr; worker — wkr; work — wk; 
shoe shop work— shoe op; cotton or woolen mill operatives 
— mill op; weaver — weav; spinner — spin; electrician — elec; 
painter — ptr; carriage work — car wk; dress maker — dr mkr; 
insurance— ins; traveling salesman, or commercial traveler — 
sales, or coml trav; music teacher — mun tr; teamster— team; 
lumberman— lumb; attendant— atten. 

This Census was taken expressly for this work during 
Jan. and Feb. of 1905, by Eev. B. V. Davis, Kents Hill, Me 



CENSUS OF JAY. 



Where no address is given JAY P. O. is understood. 
For other addresses we have used the following abbrevia- 
tions: North Jay— No: Chisholra— Chis; East Dixfield— E
